Team USA

The inelegant acronym that's so often used to describe them was forgotten, at least for this one night.
There were no WAGs at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium for the Ryder Cup's official function opening on Tuesday evening. The wives and girlfriends were allowed, for this single enchanted soiree, to simply be glamorous women... to be individuals and wear distinctive gowns of their won choosing.
Also present at the gala get-together was Prince Charles, heir apparent to the thrones of the Commonwealth realms, and an outspoken advocate for architecture (including... one might presume... golf course architecture) and for the conservation of historic buildings.
The golf action gets underway tomorrow, at which point the elegant European and American birdies will presumably fade into the background, dress in identical understatedly practical outfits and yield center stage to their talented husbands.
However at the festive opening function the women were clearly the stars.

I get the distinct impression the two Captainesses made sure none of the wives wore red.
ReplyDeleteThe US wins this round, IMHO. ;)
ReplyDeleteI agree with shark it couldn't just be a coincidence that the two Captain's wives stand out so much from the rest.

ReplyDeleteWow. Very nice eye candy!
ReplyDeleteThat's Bubba Watson's wife. Former WNBA player Angie. They're both very tall.
